This LOST SpongeBob Building was Found

This LOST SpongeBob Building was Found | Vailskibum

In the SpongeBob SquarePants Season 1 episode, "Opposite Day", Squidward is annoyed with SpongeBob and Patrick, deciding to call Bikini Realty and put his house on the market. However, we never actually see what Bikini Realty looks like on the outside. A SpongeBob fan has come forward 24 years later with Bikini Realty's full background.

We're always gonna have SpongeBob lost media, deleted scenes, and miscellaneous cut content simply because of how long the franchise has been in existence. Most fans were completely unaware of this lost building from the "Opposite Day" episode, but it's a reminder that there's always something new to find when we're talking about SpongeBob.
